Thanks GXEman, I will set up a test page to see if that works better for my client.

Justin, good to know it works for some people on Windows. The trouble the client had was that they only got the sound track. I tried on my Win 98 PC and got the same thing. I guess a lot depends on what kind of set up you have.

the first one you posted kinda works for me (gxine with firefox on linux), though it only plays five seconds at a time before buffering again - maybe you should lower the quality of the mpeg.

the second one you posted just kills gxine

Your first link didnt work for me. I just saw a black box in the width and height you specified in your source.

The second link worked, but like adam said, the lack of buffering was a problem.

*Edit- I'm using Win XP pro, IE6, on a cable modem if tha helps.

Thanks for the info everyone. It seems the second option is the way to go, the client was happy with that also.

I didn't create the MPG so I don't (as far as I know) have any way to reduce the quality. But I'm not really to worried about the speed, if buffering is a problem people will just have to pause it while it loads. just so long as it works.

Unfortunately Adam, on this occaision I'm only really concerned with Windows compatibility.

I actually already have 2 links, the other goes direct to the Mpeg which just launches quicktime for me.
